After an incredible start of the season, the Patriots finished in terrible fashion and are now forced to play a Wild Card game against the Titans. Get ready to bet on the NFL and enjoy the best football betting odds at Betmania. Register now to bet on the 2019-2020 NFL Playoffs.
With the Texans resting most of their starters, the Titans went full force for their Week 17 meeting. They managed to acquire a last regular-season victory to finish with a 9-7 record SU and ATS. The OVER hit the total 9 times out the previous ten for Tennessee.
The Patriots couldn’t have finished their regular season in a worse way: they lost to the Dolphins, the second-worst teams in the league this year. Losing that very last meeting dropped the Patriots’ season record to 12-4 SU and 9-7 ATS. The OVER hit the total in four of the previous five for New England. And, the total has also gone OVER in 7 out of the last 9 postseason games for the Pats. The Patriots are opening as favorites to take the win over Tennessee.

Although Tom Brady claims that he is healthy, he was seen flexing his elbow during his team’s loss to Miami. And, he was also seen running the sideline up and down, something rare for Brady.
Another player that may not be at his best for the game versus the Titans is Julian Edelman, who was seen with a heat pack on his bad knee. Plus, CB Jason McCourty is also questionable as he’s currently suffering from a groin injury.
If you’re a Patriots fan or want to get action on New England, an injury related to Brady is something to be concerned about. Clear proof is Tom’s last three regular-season games, as he averaged a low 201.3 pass yards or 46 fewer than his all-season stats.
The offensive game by the Patriots is likely to be focused on Sony Michel. This seems like a brilliant idea, as the player averaged 86.3 rush yards per game during the final 3 games of the regular season. Plus, New England will be facing a Titans rush defense that is allowing 117 rushing yards per game. Both Michel and Rex Burkhead averaged 151 rushing yards during the last three for the Patriots, allowing the team to push its season average to 106.4 yards per game.
Now, although the Patriots haven’t been very productive offensively, the team still thrives in two key areas. First, the team ranks number one in rivals’ third-down conversion rate at 24.1%. And second, the team ranks fourth in rivals’ red-zone TD conversion rate at 48.3%.

Since he became the starter back in October, Ryan Tannehill is currently 7-3 and has averaged an impressive 259.8 pass yards per meeting, with 22 TD’s, and just a low 5 interceptions. Tannehill’s accuracy has turned rookie AJ Brown into a last-minute sensation as the WR is currently averaging 100.8 yards per meeting, with 5 TD’s over his last 6 games.
The rushing offense by the Titans is in great shape, primarily because of Derrick Henry. Henry stole the 2019 rushing title from Nick Chubb, thanks to his late performance during Tennessee’s victory over Houston. Needless to say, Henry is one of the most underrated players in the league right now.
When it comes to the Titans’ defensive lineup, the Titans hold the 8th best third-down defense as rivals converted just 36.4% versus them during the regular season. With that said, if they want to win this one, they will be forced to keep Brady out of the red zone as they rank 31st in the NFL in red-zone TD conversion.
When it comes to injuries, there’s a big chance that CB Adoree Jackson will be back after missing the previous four meetings due to a foot injury.
